How to Get a US Green Card (Permanent Residence) 18 Year old Canadian Citizen?
Alright so I'm an 18 year old girl who was born in Canada/has Canadian Citizenship and has always lived in Canada. I've always dreamed of moving to the US to start a new life there. I really hate my family and hate Toronto, i've just always wanted to leave. Now i found out how incredibly difficult it is to obtain permanent residence in the US. For an 18 year old, is there any hope? or any hope i could work towards to get my US permanent residence? Just anything I could do at all to move there? (That is legal and reasonable).
like what if i apply to go to a US university and then get accepted? And then what if i want to continue living there after my time at university is up. Would that work?

Well going to a University in the U.S. is a start but after you graduate you'll have to find job right away. After you graduate you basically have a few months to find a job if you don't you have to leave but if you do find a job then you'll be able to stay. So yes it would work just make sure get a job fast after you graduate.

why would you hate Toronto and move to the US?Toronto is better than many US cities in many aspects except maybe New York,LA and Chicago
You need to be looking for something specific in the US and I would wonder what it is that you are looking for to give you a better answer and how to approach that with a green card or US citizenship

Green card is not the starting point.
First you get a Canadian passport. Then apply for an immigrant visa. Once you get it, you can move to the U.S. Then you can start toward the green card (which J's not a card, and the last I saw one was pink.

the youngster citizenship act did not bypass until 2000. This regulation could have ended on your automatic aquisition of citizenship had it existed on the time you have been 17. past regulation might have ended on your derivation of citizenship for the reason which you're saying the two mom and dad have been voters, yet analyzing derivation decrease than the past regulation is greater complicated than decrease than the 2000 regulation-- you fairly could talk to a lawyer, extraordinarily given the accessible results of the legal conviction on your eco-friendly card.
